Donna Culbert, CPDT-KA

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - CPDT-KA   I earned my title CPDT-KA from the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers.   

(https://www.ccpdt.org/certification/dog-trainer-certification/)


I have been training dogs  professionally since 2004. I became interested in dog training after my  one year old Golden Retriever, Murray, had become aggressive in certain  situations. After reading many books and lots of hours working with my  dog, Murray earned his Canine Good Citizen title and actually became a  therapy dog for the MSPCA. Together we enjoyed providing comfort and  laughter for residents of a local nursing home.  

Experience and Education

I got my start at Mt. Ida College where I graduated  from the 2 year Canine Behavior and Training Program. I earned hands on  experience from volunteering as a dog walker and trainer at the Quincy  Animal Shelter. I volunteered for 9 years as the Canine Training  Manager. I then spent 6 years working for Scituate Animal Shelter as the  Canine  Behavior and Training Coordinator. I evaluated each dog for temperament and  adoptability. I developed training plans and conducted obedience classes  with volunteers and dogs of the shelter.  I continue to volunteer with shelter and rescue dogs.

 I also spent a year volunteering for the Prison Puppy  Program for NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans. Each weekend I  would socialize and train the puppies that lived with inmates at a  prison during the week. After about a year the puppies were placed with a  deaf or disabled person.  

Certifications and Credentials

 Currently, I run my classes and Puppy Day Training at J.B.'s Indoor Dog Park  in Norwell and Hingham Recreation Center.    I am also the Co Training  Director and board member of the New England Dog Training Club in  Cambridge, MA. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer by the  Certification Council of Pet Dog Trainers. In addition, I am a Canine  Good Citizen Evaluator from the American Kennel Club, a member of  the APDT, Association of Pet Dog Trainers, The International  Association of Animal Behavioral Consultants and the National  Association of Canine Scent Work. I attend many seminars and workshops  throughout the year to earn Continuing Education Credits.  I compete in the sport of Nosework with my dog, Sammy.

 

Recent seminars include those by Aggression Dogs Seminar with Michael Shikashio,  workshops and lectures by Dr. Ian Dunbar, Dr. Nicholas Dodman, Suzanne Clothier, Dr. Susan Friedman, Sue Sternberg.  I recently  earned the opportunity to join an exclusive group of trainers to be  among the first to train wolves, coyotes, foxes and bison at Wolf Park, a  Wolf Sanctuary in Indiana. 


I am committed to proven science based methods that are compassionate, kind and fear free for dogs and their humans.
